Never thought she would become a science teacher! That’s dope that she’s following her passions, going a route no one would guess (at least not the public, I’m sure her family knew she was into science lol)

Your awesome Miranda, keep up the good work!

Apparently, magenta doesn't exist on the visible light spectrum and is just a color our brain creates.

This is so wholesome and admirable of you to be contributing to this part of the YouTube community! Keep it up!

This video is like 3 worlds colliding for me. Miranda from my childhood, science major, and my curiosity for everything.

Miranda: “your brain can’t comprehend a new color”

I think different shades are pretty cool to imagine like clothes or cars or items I have never seen in certain colors .. but it’s interesting how people view colors that are mixed like sea green but most people call it aqua or blue. pretty cool video

Trying to imagine a new color takes me to iridescence in outer space. I am one of the lucky few with extra rods or cones, the extra ones see flourescent red, so lots of red things are very noticeable to me, and red is my favorite color because its so interesting this way.

[ayeenisa]

[faithcyan]

Great. I'm never going to sleep ever again. She got a point. This question is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I wish sam can hit me with a butter socks, so i can forget.

We technically can’t think of another color because of our limited photo-receptors. We can only see what our photo-receptors can pick up on. Magenta does exist, but only because it contains a mixture of different colors that we can see. Cones are shaped like cones to gather as much light as possible, whilst rods are smaller and more narrow for picking up on lower light levels.
Other animals and bugs can see colors we CAN’T. Science is crazy.

[savdgirl]

Why does this remind me of her teaching that one kid the new number derf 😂 does anyone know what im talking about

[romanski]

There are people with tetrachromacy who can see more colors than average because they have four types of cones.
